It’s a thing: Space Invaders – The Board Game

May 20, 2019 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s a 2-4 player game in which you’re defending your moon base from the iconic aliens. It’s a competitive game, though, as you’re competing to get the best score.

October 22, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

With the combination of the new gaming consoles and Christmas coming up I fully expect to see plenty of gaming and game memorabilia marketing over the next few months. Not sure I expected Topps Tiles to join in – but they have with this post celebrating gaming history and design inspiration. They’ve taken their kitchen […]

Space Invaders Jenga!

September 2, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

How’s this for an awesome twist on the classic? Space Invaders Jenga from Think Geek. The black and colours make the Jenga tower look all sorts of cool and I especially like the little alien blocks. There’s a second way this Jenga and that’s why trying to move their Invader piece to the bottom of […]

Retro gamer fashion with Direct Blinds

August 7, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

UK retailer Direct Blinds have a collection of designer blinds inspired by retro games. I like these because they’re not something you see every day and feel appropriate to gaming fashion too. I’ve seen many gaming rooms that have blinds installed so the sun can be blocked from casting its evil glare on the screen […]

Using the road work barriers Filthy Luker was able to create a space invaders scene on the side of the building. Wait until dark and add some custom software and […]

Space Invaders sofa

September 25, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Fancy some retro alien action in your living room? Igor Chak has rather interesting looking couch that’s available for only a limited period of time. It’s a space invader couch. However, rather than floating around by your ceiling dropping laser bombs on to you – it should remain safely on the floor. It may even […]

Space Invaders traffic signal

June 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Are you familiar with the international traffic light sequence? Stop, get ready, go and blast the human defences? Sure. I’ll admit it; the “blast the human defences” is not the most common feature of the sequence but you’re probably thinking of your local traffic signals. You might even have a green man icon on them. […]

Alien versus Space Invaders

May 17, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

A shout out to the deviant artist Letter Q for helping us understand who would beat who – aliens or space invaders. Sorry, did I say who would beat who? I meant to say who would eat who. The aliens would simply chomp their way through those tasty space invaders. Just for the record; you […]
